For now lets just give you a little back ground on my love for Halloween. Halloween to me has always been an reason and extension of my creativity. I believe that the Holiday is celebration of art and creativity! It started as a very young child creating my costumes and creating costumes for my siblings. One thing always seemed to lead to another. Once you win first place in a costume contest you have been bitten by the bug, and all you can do is think and imagine bigger and better things! Imagination I believe, is one of Gods unique gifts to mankind as I am unaware of any other animals that have this unique ability to&nbsp;in-vision&nbsp;things in our&nbsp;minds. &nbsp;Please feel free to view the slide show below of my once filled yard of handmade animated Halloween scenes.</span></span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q7ww5NUmwTk/VGkpT_pUajI/AAAAAAAADyk/5hevZ0vT3Vg/s1600/Untitled-11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q7ww5NUmwTk/VGkpT_pUajI/AAAAAAAADyk/5hevZ0vT3Vg/s400/Untitled-11.jpg" height="196" width="200" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">As long as I can remember Halloween has been the most special of Holidays for me. I honestly believe that if it weren't for Halloween, I would not be the artist that I am today. Because for me, it is all about creativeness, nurturing and developing your talent. If it wasn't designing or creating a costume for one of my siblings, it may have</span></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4HWvfFzmAv8/VGkpnOC5QiI/AAAAAAAADys/gGdDUPbmYDo/s1600/Untitled-10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4HWvfFzmAv8/VGkpnOC5QiI/AAAAAAAADys/gGdDUPbmYDo/s400/Untitled-10.jpg" height="197" width="200" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">been creating decorations for the yard. I once lived in a house that had a huge walnut tree in the front yard, and just after moving there, around Halloween time, I made a couple of big green ghost out of plastic bags and plastic wrap. I hung one ghost on the end of a 15 foot pole, and the other ghost at the other end. Then I found the </span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vLPJEZp8ClU/VGkpz4BCUBI/AAAAAAAADy0/JUJBlqNh0Do/s1600/Untitled-12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vLPJEZp8ClU/VGkpz4BCUBI/AAAAAAAADy0/JUJBlqNh0Do/s400/Untitled-12.jpg" height="197" width="200" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">balancing point in the middle. and using a cable, I hoisted the whole thing up to the first big bough of the tree. Basically, I created a huge ghost mobile, and it operated great! With a little breeze , the ghost would bob up and down and turn and dance around each other in the wind. With the plastic blowing and waving in the breeze simulated tattered wispy tails of a ghost rising up in the air! Then to top it all off, I added a flood light beneath them to light them up at night. Well the best part of this story </span></span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">&nbsp;I had a little old lady that lived toward the back of my house and off to the side across the alley.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">I didn't know her, only that she hadn't been well, and didn't get out much, and had to have care come in to her home to help her manage. Well that first Halloween in my house, about two weeks after the Holiday, I received a letter in the mail, from a name I didn't recognize.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">I opened it up and continued to read that it was from the little old lady that lived behind me. She went onto say that she was so grateful that there were people like me in the world that would take out the time in their everyday toil, to do something so wonderful as to bring so much joy to another human being. She went onto say that it was just such a joy watching those ghost in that tree! That she was unable to sleep, and she would stand in her back laundry room through all hours of the night, just staring and gleefully watching my ghost float about in the wind. She said it was so entertaining that she found so much happiness in the simplicity of it. Well , the sad thing about that story is, I never actually got to thank her for her nice note, for she passed away the very next week, such a sad thing. I have always kept her letter because of what it represents for me, that Halloween is all about sharing and creativity, and not about evil and casting spells, and devil worship. I will always feel a bit of pride that I might have played some small part in making her final days something a little bit gleeful, and that maybe she found a few smiles cross her face. The end of this story was really only the beginning, it was for that one letter that I built more inventive displays and added more items to my yard every season for about 12 years.</span><br

in my yard. Many years ago and before the huge variety of Halloween yard decor that you find these days.Mine were straight out of my head, and made from what ever I could afford and get my hands on! I managed to animate many scenes with small motors and gadgets to make them move. I added all sorts of special lighting to bring everything to life after dark. It grew and grew every year to the point where I had yearly visits from bus tours. I had to fence off the yard and put up safety ropes to make pathways for visitors to follow all the way around the house.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;"></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;"></span></div><span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">&nbsp;It was never&nbsp;meant&nbsp;to be a huge money maker, I just set out a free&nbsp;will offering box, and it was always nice to see how grateful and willing people were to pay. To the point where it was even televised and I roped off pathways for people to walk by and view all the action. It grew and grew til they traveled all the way around the yard. People would come from miles away with their children and comment about how neat they thought it was that I went to so much work for the kids, because it was just good ole traditional Halloween, and perfect for the kids. Nothing bloody, and no gore, like you find in the Haunted Houses. All Good things must come to an end, for the day came that I had to move, and was no longer able to keep the display. Of course, I will always have the memories.</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">I discovered other means of creativity, and have been nurturing my abilities in different mediums every since...I hope you enjoy looking at the many different creations I have made to help celebrate my Favorite Holiday!</span><br /><span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;"></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">H</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">appy Halloween To You All!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Cre8orsTouchnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8516649876516498766.post-39149413586296453752012-04-19T12:36:00.002-07:002012-04-19T12:36:15.958-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nYnJN-CKi78/T5BpJP82vrI/AAAAAAAABug/u5s1eWynU3I/s1600/CONSTRUCTION.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nYnJN-CKi78/T5BpJP82vrI/AAAAAAAABug/u5s1eWynU3I/s400/CONSTRUCTION.gif" width="288" /></a></div><br />Cre8orsTouchnoreply@blogger.com0
